For an adult Spirostreptus sp. 1 "Burmese Beauty" Millipedes or a group you will need to ensure you have and adequately sized enclosure as they reach over 12cm in length and like to have space to climb branches and explore.  

Spirostreptus sp. 1 "Burmese Beauty" Millipedes enjoy a variety of foods such as washed and peeled vegetable scraps, though the stable of their diet should be leaf litter, rotten hardwoods and flake soil. We also like to ensure they have access to a good source of calcium, we would recommend either cuttlebone, eggshells or oyster shells. We supplement our "Burmese Beauty" Millipedes with dried shrimp for additional protein too. 

Please note: All millipedes are captive bred by us here at The Bug Room. It is important for hobbyists to purchase captive bred animals over wild caught species wherever possible.
